The World on Fire (2 Peter 3:10, 11) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Sunday 3rd August 1873 Read by: Gavin Childress You will notice that the theme of fire seems here (and in his sermon ‘Fire, the Want of the Times’) to awaken in Spurgeon a burning fervency. Here we note his reluctance to be dogmatic concerning the order of events which lie ahead. He stands by the Word of God, but is nervous of all human conjecture concerning the Last Days. He himself was very careful never to handle the Book of Revelation in a rough or thoughtless way. He knew that the doctrines of the Last days were to be taught with great care, as well as expectation. The restoration of the Jewish people to Israel, and to their Messiah; the return of the Saviour; the end of the age and the fearful Day of Judgment he knew as solid realities yet to occur; but he would not be drawn to guess when, or in what exact order, these things might come to pass. Listen deeply to Spurgeon here, who draws out the essence of the apostle Peter’s teaching and passes it onto us. He sees here, not words to provoke our imagination about the future; but a theme to make us holy and ready for our Lord’s glorious return.
